There is no NHS without the people who work in it, and those people are working incredibly hard to deliver a huge and growing amount for our patients. While this commitment extends to improving the working lives of our entire workforce, it is evident from conversations with doctors in training that we collectively need to do better for them. The negotiations with Government about pay are not within our remit, but as the people responsible for training and employing doctors in training, there is much more

Mashup Score: 35Why hospital capacity is more complex than bed capacity - 13 day(s) ago
It’s easy and somewhat commonplace to liken healthcare to a widget factory, to boil it down to inputs and outputs; to capacity, productivity, and efficiency. I was reminded of this at last week’s international quality and safety forum, jointly hosted by BMJ and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. The event was held at the ExCel, London’s homage to the austere corridor world of Blake’s 7 —and the site of a Nightingale hospital at the height of the covid pandemic.

At a time when the future of the NHS is in jeopardy after over a decade of austerity, and with public satisfaction at an all time low,1 it must pick up the pieces of failures across government. Attaining good health requires more than healthcare, and improvements in the provision of healthcare by the NHS alone is inadequate to address the health crisis—action is needed on the social determinants of health2 (box 1). Box 1 ### Definition of social determinants of health3 The social determinants of health are defined by the World Health Organization as: “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, soc
